custom fonts in android project

Question

im trying to add a custom font in my project, I saw severals tutorials, and in all of them they add the fon programaticly like the following:

Typeface myTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getActivity().getAssets(), "fonts/COOPPBL.TTF");
    TextView tv = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textview1);
    tv.setTypeface(myTypeface);

Coukld someone tell me if there a way to add the font in the XML and not using java, thanks a lot.

Answer 1

You unfortunately cannot. You can do that programmatically only, as android does not have built-in support for that through XML.
